Zen

Zen

I need all the Zen and positive energy and karma I can get… all though, for some reason, I don’t think that karma works like that. I’m not entirely sure how it works to be honest. If the whole Karmic Wheel thing is about receiving what you send out, then I must have done some pretty terrible stuff in a previous life time – Nazi spy; kamikaze bomber; the person who invented diet soft drink…

But, sitting here in my little office, with its cold concrete floors, inside the coldest warehouse in existence contemplating my lot in life - I realize that in spite of all the bad luck, I have received a fair amount of good stuff . Life is all about balance after all: good-bad, fat-skinny, mean-nice, Greenday-madonna, I can go on an on.

These co-existing, opposite forces, act to hold the world together like glue. Without them, not only will everything cease to exist, but it will all be rather dull – everything would be very insipid, very much like day time tv.

So, although I have experienced a recent spate of bad luck (to the point where I am almost convinced that I’m cursed!), I have experienced a fair amount of good fortune – which I can now fully appreciate! Besides, things can always get much worse...
